84 ROSES FOR ENGLISH GARDENS 



tioned on account of its perfume and beauty in 

 spring. Curiously enough it is not always a winter 

 bloomer, but it still luxuriantly adorns many an old 

 garden. 



Id6al is essentially a Rose for this coast. In spring 

 it even rivals Fortune's Yellow, but it comes in several 

 weeks later and is deeper in its rosy tones. Did it but 

 bloom at all in winter it would be unsurpassable. 



Dr. Rouges is the most intensely brilliant shade of 

 orange-red that I know, and when fully proved will be 

 invaluable as a climber when its winter blooming is 

 established. The rich claret-red shoots in January 

 are almost as brilliant as any flower could be. 



William A. Richardson no longer climbs here, but 

 flowers splendidly in winter as a straggling bush. 



Pink Rover must certainly not be omitted from 

 the list of climbing Roses, for there are so few of its 

 fresh and lovely shade of colour. It is very sweet- 

 scented, blooms abundantly before Christmas, and 

 wherever grown is at once a favourite. It seems to 

 revel in the conditions here. 



Griiss an Teplitz, a seedling between Cramoisi 

 Grimpant and Gloire des Rosomanes, is another 

 very delightful semi-climbing Rose on this coast. 

 Most brilliant red in colour, sweet-scented and free, 

 it has hardly yet been sufficiently planted, so its 

 merits are not fully established. 



Hybrid Teas are decidedly the most in vogue now, 

 owing not only to their size and beauty, but to the 

 length of stalk with which they may be cut. As 

 garden Roses they are equally valuable. Caroline
